Discussion ensues when attention is drawn. And calling a group of your "peers"
"elitist, stifling, and anal retentive", certainly counts. Especially when by
not allowing discussion, you allow no chance for said group of "peers" to defend
your charges. That's about as "elitist, stifling, and anal retentive" as it
gets.
Cancelling membership would have sufficed without the name-calling. Attempting
to hurt the group on the way out the door, IN A PUBLIC FORUM, without allowing a
chance for discussion, isn't playing very well.
